Days when fear crept into my mind;

[preflame]

[It's not often this Roxas is seen out and about at night, but tonight he is sitting in one of the outside rooms, leaning back on his arms as he looks up at the stars above him. The grassy hill might be familiar to some, but he doesn't seem to care about that, his attention solely focused on the universe above him. Feel free to join him or interrupt, judging by his thoughtful expression, he's been there for a long time.]

[Ah well, would he mind a familiar girl (???) leaning over and obstructing his view.]

[preflame]

[Not at all! Though she gets a confused look for that.]

Nami? Hey... I thought you went to bed.

[flowerbuds]

I can't sleep.

[preflame]

Why?

[He looks concerned as he takes a hold of her arm and attempts to guide her to sit next to him.]

[flowerbuds]

[She does, although the lack of sleep doesn't seem to be disturbing her nearly as it should.]

I keep getting bad dreams.

[preflame]

[He frowns and tilts his head a bit, obviously not picking up on any kind of weird behavior.]

Do you want to talk about it?

[flowerbuds]

I'll be fine. I was just thinking of doing some practice to help get some sleep.

[preflame]

[The 'I'll be fine' is what catches his attention and he looks confused again. But he is quick to shrug it off and sit up a bit, turning towards her more.]

Okay... like what?

[flowerbuds]

There's this one I learned recently. I wanted to try it out and see that it works.

[terrestre]

[This guy's seen even less! Probably because he just arrived. Either way, he's marching up the hill, dragging behind him a wooden toy keyblade. He looks extremely surprised when he sees Roxas there.]

[preflame]

[Littlexas has been here a long time, so seeing someone else around doesn't bother him, though once he gets close enough to notice it's a new face, the kid might grab his attention faster.]

[terrestre]

[No need for that! He heads right over and plops his toy amazing keyblade blade-down, leaning on it and staring down at him.]

Hello?

[preflame]

[The blond blinks a bit and his gaze shifts to the other. His brows furrow as he finally realizes he doesn't recognize this face and he gives him a bit of a blank look.]

Hi...?

[terrestre]

[It's like looking into a mirror of confusion! But he looks friendly enough.]

Are you looking for Master?

[preflame]

[Must be especially strange for Terra, considering this Roxas is just barely 13.]

... No, I don't know any of those.

[terrestre]

[He doesn't know Ven yet, at least! He's not really that confused by him being that young. Maybe his Master is getting another apprentice.]

Then what are you doing out here?

[preflame]

Looking at the stars.

[He turns his gaze back up to the sky above them. There's no moon in this sky tonight, making it perfect to see the bright, twinkling lights up there.]

It's pretty.

[frostedwaters]

[Hey you, what's with all the quiet introspection about the stars? Have a Kairi peeking down at you with a smile.]

Hey.

[preflame]

[He seems to brighten considerably when he sees her, that warm smile of his returning to his face.]

Hi... what're you doing here?

[frostedwaters]

Oh, you know... having a look around.

[She picks a good spot on the grass and sits down next to him, staring up at the sky.]

You?

[preflame]

Just thinkin'.

[He scoots closer to her, just enough to be able to lean his head against her shoulder.]

[frostedwaters]

[Never stop being adorable, little bro.]

Thinking about what?

[preflame]

Stuff.

[Could use some work in the communication field, though.]

[frostedwaters]

Uh huh.

[Well, let's change the subject a little then.]

How have you been?

[preflame]

[He shrugs.]

Fine...

[And after a pause-]

I've been training a lot lately.
